Abstract

A system and method for providing in-flight weather information to compute an optimized vertical flight profile are disclosed. In one embodiment, on-board weather information is obtained from one or more aircraft at regular intervals during flight. Further, weather information is identified for a predicted flight trajectory of an aircraft from the obtained on-board weather information. For example, the aircraft is preceding the at least one aircraft. Furthermore, a subset of the identified weather information is dynamically provided to a flight management system (FMS) in the aircraft, during flight, to compute the optimized vertical flight profile.
